I have the following PHP script, where I'm trying to retrieve the image
type. Why doesn't it work? What am I doing wrong?

<?php
$image="4.2.06"
$imagetype = exif_imagetype($image);
echo "Image type is: " $imagetype;
?>
What does "doesn't work" mean? What output are you getting? Are there
any
errors or warnings in your logs?

Ash's advice is correct:  check your error log.  However, I think that
one problem is that you don't have a semicolon at the end of the first
assignment statement above, which results in a syntax error occurring.

Also, please do not top-post. Put your replies at the bottom instead.


The problem is actually threefold;
1 - Errors aren't being displayed (display_errors in your php.ini is turned OFF; turn it on to see them), and YOU are not looking in the log for the errors (as suggested by Ashley and Mark). 2. You have a parse error online 2 as hinted by Mark: no semicolon to terminate the line. You don't see this error due to #1 3. You have another parse error on line 4 between the double quote and the variable you're trying to concatenate. You're missing the concatenation operator: the 'dot' (.). You don't see this error due to #1

So, fix #1 either by turning on display_errors or read your logfiles.
Then you'll be able to identify problems #2 and #3 for yourself, and fix them easily.
